I don’t know where exactly this post belongs, so if anybody knows, please redirect me there. This is a work in progress module. It’s mostly finished but I am posting here before it’s done to get some advice and perhaps lag reduction tips. Plus if anyone wants to let me know the current scoreboard naming system in GM4 I’d appreciate that.

This is a portal gun that is multi player compatible. The features of the portal gun are as follows:

A portal gun is either orange or blue (it’s a bow and arrow). When shooting a new portal only your old portal of that color is removed and the new one created. The color is switched by throwing the portal gun out of your inventory.

The second feature and this is the important one. Anyone can travel between two portals you have fired. Portals are player sensitive meaning that every player has it’s own unique set of two portals and any other player attempting to use a portal will take that player to the other portal linked to that player. A little confusing but I hope that makes sense. It works like multiplayer portals work in the original game basically.

When an old portal is destroyed, the blocks that used to be there are put back so nothing is lost.

Features I am still adding:

Keeping player momentum. I’m experimenting with using summoned arrows to give the player momentum as they leave a portal however that is still a work in progress feature.

To work on multiplayer like I explained, portals cycle through a waiting list type system to take you to the correct portal. This works smoothly with only a few players but if there are hundreds of players it could take 5 to 10 seconds to teleport you. I, currently switching that system out for a more efficient binary search system, but it’s giving me a bit of a headache. :p

So tell me what you guys think and any advice if you have any. I’ll post the testing world soon. If anyone wants to move this to the correct page, feel free. Thanks for reading :)

Hey, sparks, could you please make a server that is a superflat world for all the module creators so that we can all work together creating modules and helping each other out?? I think this could be useful for anyone who is having problems with their modules or just want more ideas and want the modules completed faster!

Now that the new command block types have come out will all the game mode 4 modules be update to not run on clocks for lag reducing purposes?? Or will that have to wait until the 1.9 update actually releases?

The Travelers Boots allow you to climb up a block without jumping. similiar to the ability of horses all you need to do to get the boots working is to use the One Click and put on the Travelers Boots. An added ability to this is the ability to climb the side of blocks even when you are falling, allowing you to jump up two block high walls or jump across long chasms up to 5 blocks long!!

I have not included a recipe for the Travelers Boots because this is the machine for the mechanics, not the recipe. If you would like to try the boots without making a recipe just use this command here-

/give <name here> minecraft:leather_boots1 0 {display:{Name:"Travelers Boots",Lore:["Ability: StepUp"]}}
